I am puzzled by this. I have a pre-'64 Model 70 in .270, and it kicks less than my Model 54 in .30-06, my pump-action remington .30-06, and my pre-'64 model 70 featherweight in .308. The only gun I have with less felt recoil is my .30-30.

No, I am not trying to be manly-man by stating this, I just can't figure why .270 Win. would kick so hard, regardless of the stock.
